foreign policy including the use of sanction on the iranian economy, "these sanctions are violent pure and simple. whether called smart or otherwise, unilateral or multilateral, sanctions beyond any and all rhetoric causes belligerence, human suffering." rouhani also criticized the use of the u.s. drones. "terrorism is a violent scourge and knows no country on national borders. but the violence on extreme actions such as the use of drones against innocent people in the name of the combating terrorism should also be condemned." the israeli government told its diplomats to leave the hall before mr. rouhani spoke. there was no public handshake between rouhani and obama. something the iranian president later explained in a charlie rose interview. >> well afterall we're speaking of two countries who have had no relations for 35 years. so it is clear that to begin talks requires some preparation work. and whenever the prep work is completed, i believe that it is possible to have a meeting. perhaps if we had more time here in new york we may have been able to coordinate what was necessary for
